Anza VFW Post #1873 and its Auxiliaries Mid June by Tonie Ford We’re picking snow peas every day. Hope nobody tells them the snow won’t be back for a while. There are several plants coming up from the compost pile. Not sure what they are. At first I thought they were zucchini, but the little nubs at the bottom of the flowers are not zucchini. I then thought about cantaloupe, but they’re long, not round. And the leaves are not watermelon leaves. Maybe we have mutants that inbred below ground. Stay tuned to find out the results. I only hope whatever they are is edible. The volunteer potato plants are doing well, too. Apparently we didn’t get last year’s compost crop Jessica Lynn horsing around in her Earth Song Ranch’s all natural supplement booth.

Lake Riverside Estates sponsors equine wellness seminar by Allison Renck Lake Riverside Estates opened its upper gate to the public to welcome equestrian enthusiast for a free Equine Wellness Seminar on May 31. Jessica Lynn of Earth Song Ranch hosted the event geared toward educating spectators about different aspects of horse care and training. Lynn has been involved with homeopathy and natural products for horses for over 15 years.
She is owner of Earth Song Ranch, located in Lake Riverside Estates in Aguanga, and is a certificated equine nutritionist, licensed feed supplement manufacturer and distributer. Lynn was the first presenter at the event and she used different items to help the audience visualize a horse’s digestive system. One of the items she used was a 100 foot garden hose with items attached to it to represent different parts of a horse’s digestive track.
During this presentation she explained that a horse’s mouth contains 36 to 44 teeth and that when a horse is chewing it produces on average 10 gallons of saliva a day. She highlighted how food is broken down in the digestive track and how the waste is eliminated in horse manure. Lynn explained you can tell a lot about your horses health from his manure or as she called it “poopology,” The ranch owner explained it
takes approximately three days for total digestion to occur for a horse. The other presenters at the event included; Monique Warren on the Benefits of Slow Feeding Your Horse, Sandra Brunet on the Real Ins and Outs of Equine Nutrition, Sandi Heitritter on Blanket and Fly Sheet Fitting, Dr Kevin Fenton DVM on Equine Chiropractic, Kathe Smothers on Natural Horsemanship, Dr Lindsay Crowley
